I agree completely with Leelowe1, but also think everyone has given some excellent options. At this stage, it looks like your acne is becoming more moderate to severe and when it starts to feel like i...

Congrats on Starting Accutane! So it sounds like you've been on it for a month how are things going skin wise?! Your story is similar to mine, I had mild, VERY mild acne in high school and my early 20...

Glad things are going well fadedjay! Your comment about eating cookies made me laugh a little because I have lately been on this massive Oreo obsession and can't go a day without eating an entire slee...

I'm not positive, but from the photo it looks like a cyst to me? Cystic acne perhaps? How long has it been there and does it have any kind of head forming? You can ice it for a few minutes on and off ...

I didn't have a similar response when I took Accutane about a year ago, however I do have some words of encouragement! What you are seeing and feeling is normal. 44 days so about a month and a half in...

Meg Tree! It's so good to hear from you Accutane buddy it sounds like you're doing great! I Wish my acne didn't return but alas it's also really mild, no where near as horrible as it was last time b...

Pianina, you have no Idea how helpful your comment is to me! Thank you so much! 🙂 that's exactly what I'm going to do!

Hello fellow acne sufferers. Ugh well my story is long so I will spare you all the details, they're exactly like everyone else's. Tried everything, nothing works, frustrated and heartbroken by this di...

The dose is pretty high, but taking it for 3 months would make sense with Absorbica. It seems like that medication is quite a bit more effective than other brands (I took Claravis). Therefore the amou...

I REALLY think it's just the increase in the dose, I wouldn't worry too much Accutane is phenomenal and doing its job for sure. Like Kim saying having a breakout after upping the dose is totally and ...

Try epiduo! It's an adapelene/BP gel that helps fight acne in two different ways. You will get a purge, and some of them will go away on their own. I will tell you I've been on epiduo for a little ov...

I know the feeling fouzi99, I went through a full course of accutane last year and my acne came back as well. Mine was simply because (being an idiot and not following the instructions) didn't take it...

Hi fadedjay, I will be 28 in May and starting my second course in about 26 days (females have to wait 30 days) So I can relate I'll be following your logs and I will be about a month behind you. I am...

HUGE IMPROVEMENT! That is incredible! I've also heard your skin may have only needed 4 months and will continue to get better and you won't need another course! I started breaking out mildly 4 months ...

Hey acne 30, I just started following your log today and my heart sank when I read your dermatologist discharged you one month before you were to be done. I just went to my dermatologists today and wi...

First off, don't apologize at all! You have nothing to be sorry about Second it looks to me like inflamed pustules and clogged pores, so moderate acne. You could try the regime, I personally have nev...

Honestly, I think if you can find a nice, cheap, AND effective treatment for your acne that's great! Keep using what works and then of course if it stops working you can always elude back to the benzo...

Wow, that test looks fascinating! Thanks for your input Veronikavanquish I will chat with my Dr. tomorrow about some tests and see what her thoughts are and hopefully have some helpful info to share!

How are things going Sarah? Looks like I'll be starting round 2 in a month.... I hate this waiting period! I enjoy following others who are on their second round to just get a feel for how it may go

Oh man, right there with you OP, I have an appointment with my dermatologist in two days to hopefully start my second course. Ugh disappointing BUT I've heard sometimes it takes two! I'll be about a m...

Well, I am one of those unfortunate examples of someone who had fabulous results from Accutane that only lasted 4 months post treatment. My acne is back and I am so sad about it. I'm learning to kind ...

I loved Yaz, hang in there .... it will help you! Both times I took it it worked in fact as soon as I get insurance next month I'm getting back on it

I can also completely relate to you! I've tried a lot of different treatments including the one I am on currently which is Cephalexin, Epiduo, and Vitamin D Cod Liver supplements. Honestly it's better...

Thanks for all your input! My skin seems to be clearing.....a bit. My thought process is to see how it goes as I've only been on the medication for a little over a week. I am not going to let my skin ...

I guess another question I would have would be how to get a dermatologist to prescribe me Accutane since my acne is mild at this point? Unfortunately since I've moved it can't be the same Derm I saw p...
